Le'Veon Bell, the star Michigan State running back who's now a top NFL draft prospect, provided an example of a question he got during the NFL combine in an interview with NBC Sports Radio on Thursday night, and it's one the NFL could investigate and determine whether or not it violates league policy or employment laws to ask.

"They really didn't ask about my sexuality," Bell said. "They were just kind of asking like, 'Do I talk to a lot of girls?' and on little things like that. It's not a big deal at all. I definitely didn't mean to make headlines about it or anything.

"Like I said, I didn't feel offended by any of the questions they asked me. I just thought they asked me questions to get to actually see how I am and see how the way I respond to it and just really testing me. I feel like I answered the questions in the correct way."

The NFL has said it would investigate the questioning of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa, who told ESPN Radio Denver earlier this week he was asked, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' Are you married? Do you like girls?'"

Bell told NBC Sports Radio that NFL teams asked "all types of weird questions," including ones asking him to name the first president and the direction from which the sun rises.

The NFL is looking into the ones that involve sexual orientation.

"Like all employers, our teams are expected to follow applicable federal, state and local employment laws," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement Wednesday. "It is league policy to neither consider nor inquire about sexual orientation in the hiring process.

"In addition, there are specific protections in our Collective Bargaining Agreement with the players that prohibit discrimination against any player, including on the basis of sexual orientation. We will look into the report on the questioning of Nick Kasa at the Scouting Combine. Any team or employee that inquires about impermissible subjects or makes an employment decision based on such factors is subject to league discipline."
